Please see page 2 for Network Proposal.

Silfinate Corporation will be expanding their business to three separate locations. This business will have a total of 55 employees between all three locations with 10 roaming employees. Silicate Corporation requires that each employee have their own assigned cubicle; able to access their work materials from any of the four computers in the customer relations area at each location; and be able to utilize the print/fax room at each location. I propose that a Virtual Private Network (VPN) is created for this company. If you’re not familiar with what a VPN is, it’s a network that is logically defined over public transmission systems. In order to have access to this network you need to be an authorized user, VPN isolates other traffic on the same public lines to access the network. To isolate this traffic, the network server will have its own unique password. In order to access this network outside of the business you will need this password to have access. We will provide “guest” internet access for any clients that are visiting and may need this type of access. As previously stated Silicate will now have a total of 55 employees. There will be 25 employees at the main office and 15 employees at the two new locations. Each employee will have their own workstation at their employed location. Each employee will have their own unique user id and password to log into their workstations. Each employees profile will be set up so they can log into any workstation at all three...

Hardware | Function | Installation/Maintenance |
Hubs | A hub is a device that takes incoming data and broadcasts it out to all the other devices that are connected to its ports. | Installing a hub is very simple. Basically all you have to do is plug and play. Remember not to plug any cable into the uplink port of the hub because that is used to connect hubs together. Because all a hub does is rebroadcast data, not much configuration is needed. |
Switches | A switch is like an intelligent hub. A switch can create a record of all the hardware on a network and send data more efficiently. It operates higher up the OSI model than a hub. | In most cases the installation of a switch is fairly easy. Plug the switch in and allow it to boot up. Make sure that any device that you connect to the switch is turned off. When all the devices are connected, turn them on and in most cases they will be connected to the network. Sometimes special configuration will be needed, but in most simple installations the switch will work right away. Remember to not connect a device other than another connectivity device to the uplink port on the switch. |
Routers | A router can connect different types of networks together regardless of certain protocols. Routers operate higher on the OSI model than most switches because they can deal with more...

Branding, Growth Strategies and Relationship Marketing Techniques
Branding
PepsiCo has many products that have been branded for a long time and have built up a reputation so they are known around the world. One product that PepsiCo owns is 7-Up and this product is quite known in a lot of countries.
7UP is a brand that has developed well. The drink had been tested many times until the perfect flavour was found and this had finally be done in 1929 when it had been made and many enjoyed the taste of the drink and it sold well, it was called Bib-Label Lithiated Lemon-Lime Soda. The drink since then has developed well and it quickly became popular and the drink then became known as 7UP. There has been some early advertisement as well and a logo has been created for the drink. 7UP became the third best selling drink in the world because it was getting more known and recognized by having a logo because people would be able to recognize the drink.
PepsiCo has branded its soft drink product 7UP in many ways throughout the years to get it to where it is now, it is a drink that is sold all over the world in many stores and many people enjoy it so it is quite popular and this is because of things such as advertising. 7UP has used advertising such as a cartoon mascot named “Spot” which represents the red ball which is on the log between the 7 and the UP as you can see in the logo that is shown, it has gone from the mascot to other things such as “Its an UP thing” and “Make 7UP...

...﻿P2 – Description of the Limitations and Constraints of Marketing Activities
Introduction
When marketing their products on the market businesses have to be careful, they must ensure that they are following all of the laws and regulations which have been set up by various governments so that their marketing activities are not stopped. In this report I will describe some of the limitations and constraints which have been put on marketing activities by various authorities.
Consumer Law
All businesses must ensure that their marketing activities fall within the laws and regulations set up by the authorities, In recent years various organisations have put an emphasis on customer protection and thus many laws and regulations have been introduced; all of these must be followed by businesses. Laws and regulations are constantly changing and it is a business’s responsibility to keep up to date with them or else they will feel the repercussions of disobeying them.
Sale of Goods Act 1979
The sales of goods act 1979 is one of the most important asks which all businesses are obliged to follow. The sales of goods act states that business must only sell goods that are as described in marketing (packaging, advertisements, etc.) This means businesses cannot advertise an Apple iMac and then sell a Pear iMac to their customers. Another part of the sale of goods act which businesses have to follow is the part of the act which states that products must be ‘of satisfactory quality’; this means...

...be offered to the market to satisfy a customer needs and desires. Product include physical goods, services experiences, events, person, place and etc. It is therefore the combination of goods and service that are offered to the target consumer. A business will constantly change and update its product range and mix to constantly please their customers and be above competitors.
A product can be viewed in three different levels:
Level 1: The core Product (rather than the physical product) is the benefit of the production that makes it valuable to you.
Level 2: The actual product is the physical item. At this level branding and added features and benefits are important as this what will differentiate the product from competitors.
Level 3: The augmented product is additional value beyond the physical product: it usually consist of after-sales service, warranties, delivery and so on.
The extent of the mix is another significant issue. If a business doesn’t have many products, there is a chance that one will go out of date as newer type of products are in the market and this can seriously damage the business scale. It is recommended to never have one product in one market as if the product isn’t successful and fails this could mean a complete failure of the business. Some businesses will adapt and anticipate change, while others reacts to the need to change. An example of this is that IPhone makes changes to their products such as their mobile phones,...

...organisation. The promotion has gone from few points for vouchers to customer competition to gain the most points for bigger offers in return. The scheme now has its own mobile app which allows the customers to view how many points they have and what they can trade them for. This is effective as it means the promotion is more accessible to customers and means less hassle. Also the service offers more at seasonal times of the year when particularly families and parents spend more (like Christmas and Easter). When Tesco marketing set this up, they would have had to of look into how many people would take part and how much Tesco could offer as rewards.
When Tesco customers spend £40 or more at certain times of the year, £5 is taken off the receipt [3], this makes customers want to spend that little bit extra to gain this offer. This promotion is great for weekly shoppers who spend around that amount of money as it means they will continue to shop at Tesco rather than competitors. This week long promotion will attract more customers for that week which otherwise may shop at competitor super markets, this will raise figures and open opportunities for potential customers.
On Tesco’s site there is a price comparison area [4]. This allows customers to look at prices elsewhere as well as assuring them that Tesco has the best prices. The site offers comparisons on all their main products and services. Target market for specific products and services can look here...

Unit 331
Outcome 3Understand how to monitor children and young people’s development and interventions that should take place if this is not following the expected pattern.
3.1 Explain how to monitor children and young people’s development using different methods.
There are numerous different methods of monitoring including: observations, body language, behaviour, moods, written records, assessment framework, information from parents/carers, work colleagues and standard measurements.
The adult will need to use a few different methods aswell as opportunities to monitor the development of children and young people.
It is important that you understand the purpose of the observations that you do as part of your role. You do this because you will need to report any findings to the class teacher who will then report it to the parent/carer. It’s important that teachers and parent/carers share any information about the child or young person’s best interests. The observation can be done in a formal or informal way. There are advantages to doing both these aswell as disadvantages.
The informal observation will be those that you do every day when you are working with the children or young people. These observations will be small but over time they will enable you to build up a picture of the child or young person. The adults may notice that an individual is then able to understand new concepts very easily. It’s likely that the adult will discuss...

Advantages
Disadvantages
Uniform
Advantages having all pupils in the same uniform gives the students a sense of belonging and reduces any teasing from other children and families comparing the families financial status. Outsiders can identify clearly that a child attends a certain school if they abscond. The Logo\uniform advertises the standard and ethos of the school. A smartly dressed student sends a positive message to the surrounding community out on school trips and visits out of school.
If the pupil is wearing the schools uniform and the child lets the school down behaving inappropriate this may tarnish the school`s reputation.
Extra costs of badges, bookmarks and book bags (which are part of the uniform) does add extra costs to families and can be an expense.
The logo added jumpers are a lot more expensive and a child who does not have one could feel out of place if most children in his\hers class wear them.
Brochure About the School
Having a school brochure at a New Start Meeting can be shared collectively between staff members and parents any unfamiliar terms and phrases can be explained further to the parents and important information can be highlighted to read in their own time at home.
The advantage having a brochure is families without access to the internet can find relevant information if they need it.
A brochure is a quick way to find schools contact number, or the...
